Suppose for a moment that things go better for the Western Allies with WWII ending roughly a year earlier with Japan surrendering in August or September of 1944. Now this is after the Democratic and Republican Party conventions so it would be the same Roosevelt vs. Dewey competition as in our timeline. Without an ongoing war to help justify a fourth term though how much better do people think Dewey might be able to do? Looking at the rough figures quite a few states were fairly close-run affairs, although those figures don't always tell the full story. Could Dewey find a path to victory or would he merely be able to make it more of a close, yet still lost, race?
